Simply sprinkle some baking soda inside your shoes, leave it overnight and remove the powder the following day. Alternatively, you can put two tablespoons of baking soda into a piece of fabric like a coffee filter, socks and even stockings; tie it and place it in your shoe overnight.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Citrus Peels: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Place fresh citrus peels, like lemon, lime or orange peels, into your shoes and leave them in overnight. This will help give it fresh scent.<\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Essential Oils: <\/span><\/strong>Add a few drops of an essential oil of your choice, into your shoe for a refreshing smell. Alternatively, you can add a few drops to cotton balls or tissues and leave them in your shoe overnight.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>Rubbing Alcohol<span style=\"color: #808080;\">:<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\"> Pour or spray rubbing alcohol inside of your shoes. Rubbing alcohol is a natural antiseptic that will disinfect and will help dry out the odour.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>Water and Vinegar:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Add a mixture of water and white distilled vinegar of equal ratio into a spray bottle, and spray the mixture a few times into your shoe. Let it air dry for 30 mins before use. You can also choose to speed up the drying process with a blow dryer if necessary.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>A Bar Of Soap: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\">If you have a few spare soap bars, use them to get rid of the shoe odour. Place a bar of soap inside each stinky shoe for a few hours or overnight and it will absorb the odour, leaving a fresh clean scent behind.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>Fabric Softener Sheets: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Tuck in a few of these sheets inside your shoes (scrunch them up too if you wish) and leave it overnight to neutralise the odour.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>The Heat:<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\"> If your smelly shoe problem is due to excessive moisture, leave them to dry out in the sun or on a heater. This will help prevent bacterial\u00a0growth that causes the odour.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>Freeze them: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Seal your shoes in a Ziploc bag or an ordinary plastic bag and place them in the freezer overnight. Then, thaw them in the sun the following morning. This method is meant to kill the bacteria that produces the odour.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>Cat litter:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Unusual as it may sound, cat litter is infused with deodoriser and works well to absorb moisture. Seal a few tablespoons of cat litter (unused, ofcourse!) into socks or stockings and place them in your shoes overnight.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Unfortunately, we at Laundryheap can&#8217;t clean your shoes nor can we take the odour out of them either, but you can count on us to clean your clothes, and home &amp; bedding items!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smelly shoes are really unpleasant and can be totally embarrassing when exposed to others around you.
